Chen Yi and I finished buying clothes, and ate some Lijiang special snacks at the roadside food stalls, although the night was dark, but the qiē around us was very light, and in my world there was no loneliness and loneliness that I hated to the bone, we didn't say anything, but we have been sharing our favorite food to each other, in this selfless sharing, I remembered many past times.

I finally picked up my glass and drank my favorite beer on this cold night, and I wanted to make the night perfect, so there had to be wine, there had to be age, and there were times that we could cherish with affection

Chen Yi, who has never liked to drink, also poured a glass of beer into the glass from which she originally drank, and then took a sip with me, I looked at her and smiled, and she also pursed her lips and smiled at me

I ate a little too much, so I leaned back in my chair and lit a cigarette, and listened to a resident singer singing a song called Rehe at the bar opposite.

I leisurely exhaled the smoke in my mouth and asked Chen Yi beside me, "Rehe Road, isn't it just a road in Nanjing?"

"Well, it's quite kind to hear the folk songs about Nanjing here."

I nodded, continued to listen to the lyrics of the song, and asked very seriously: "The lyrics say that no one falls in love on Rehe Road, is there any basis?"

Chen Yi shook his head with a smile and replied, "I think this is a game of playing with words, so it shouldn't have any special meaning." A few days ago, I drove by there and saw several young couples waiting to buy something to eat next to a stall selling pancakes, rubbing against each other, very close. ”

The facts cited by Chen Yi also make me feel that this is a play on words. In fact, there is no place in this world where you can't fall in love, only people who don't want to fall in love. So, without further thought, I took another sip of beer from my glass

It was already half past eleven o'clock in the night, Chen Yi and I walked to the observation deck near the inn, the moonlight was still so good tonight, we lay on the guardrail together and looked at the ancient city sprinkled with moonlight below, I felt that this night that belonged to us was about to end.

I finally turned around and said to Chen Yi beside me: "Qiao Ye will definitely not return to Nanjing this time, I think, Qin Miao should have been mentally prepared before this."

"She's too stupid"

I looked at Chen Yi, her expression was full of sympathy for Qin Miao, and she said again after a long time: "Of course she is mentally prepared, but until now she has kept this qiē secret from Qiao Ye's parents, just saying that Qiao Ye has traveled abroad, but she has cleaned up the mess left in Nanjing for Qiao Ye." ”

I have an indescribable feeling in my heart, but as an outsider, I really don't have the ability to change anything, I feel a little sorry for Qin Miao, although the main reason is not on me, but this time Qiao Ye came to Lijiang to find Su Han regardless of it, and I did play a role in fueling the troubles, I just hope that Qin Miao will not hate me for this unintentional mistake.

In my silence, Chen Yi said to me again: "Jiang Qiao, there is something I don't quite understand. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Su Han's bar in Lijiang, we have all seen, according to the rent in the center of the scenic spot, coupled with the scale of the bar, I think it will not be less than 3 million upward investment. But I heard that Su Han's family is very ordinary, so it doesn't seem very reasonable for her to open such a bar in Lijiang."

Chen Yi's mind is so delicate, but I really take Su Han as a friend, and when she told me the truth, it was a kind of trust, and under the premise that she didn't want to say it clearly, I didn't have the right to say anything, even if the person I was facing was Chen Yi.

So, I replied lightly: "Maybe she has a noble person to help, you know that Su Han's behavior is very good, and the bar doesn't necessarily start with this scale, I guess it has been accumulated over the years." ”

Chen Yi looked at me and stopped, and finally chose to be silent after sighing, but I don't think she can deduce that Qiao Ye's parents gave Su Han a sum of money, she just suspects that Su Han has another man in Lijiang, so she has the ability to open such a large bar, and she is still holding a fluke for Qin Miao's sister, but I know that it is not very likely that Su Han will change her mind, otherwise why would she open a "mood coffee" in Nanjing that doesn't care about profits

The night is getting deeper and deeper, Chen Yi and I finally returned to the inn where we stayed, there was something wrong with the hot water supply in her room, so I went back to my room after washing up in my room, I wanted to keep her for a moment, but in the end I didn't open this mouth, because there were some things I did to her, even if she was willing, I would feel that I was inferior to a beast.

I knew that I would not sleep that night, so I did not wash up, but sat on the bamboo chair on the balcony with a cigarette and a can of beer, and thought about a lot of nonsense, until the abandoned textile mill came to my mind, and I calmed down. Over the years, although I have resented my mother, every time I think of her standing by the window of the workshop and stretching out her hands to me, my heart will still settle down, she is like a colorful umbrella, giving me color and supporting my world.

In the bright moonlight, I took my phone out of my pocket, found an old photo of a textile factory, and looked at it while taking a few sips of beer.

I think of Jiang Jiyou again, after he divorced my mother, he destroyed all the photos in the house, so he didn't leave me anything to commemorate at all, and after more than ten years of changes, her appearance has become very blurry in my brain, unless she is still standing in the workshop of the textile factory, stretching out her hand to me outside the window, otherwise even if she stands in front of me, I am afraid I will not recognize her.

I drank the beer from the can, and then I smiled wryly that I couldn't even remember what my mother looked like, whether I really thought about her all these years

I miss her, but every time I walk on the street, I will mistake some similar backs and looks for her, and over time I will be confused and blurred

At this time, I remembered that I shared the song "Mom" in the circle of friends two days ago, and I suddenly wanted to listen to it again, so I took out my mobile phone and opened WeChat.

There was a message from Xiao Ai in WeChat, I opened it and looked at it, it turned out that she used a singing software to record the song, and then wrote the words "Send to Jiangqiao" at the bottom of the song, which was just right for me to be surprised

I smiled and opened the song, and to my surprise, it was recorded in the form of a textile mill in the background.

At sunset, Xiao Ai sat on the steps at the door of the No. 2 workshop, singing softly into the headset, her singing voice was much better than the original singing, so I quickly immersed myself in her singing

At the end, she said to me in the unfinished tune: "Jiangqiao, isn't it unexpected, I climbed over the courtyard wall again, but this time it didn't go very well, my trouser legs were torn, you see"

Speaking of this, she moved the camera of her phone down, and the cuff of the white slacks was indeed torn out of a big hole.

I smiled and said to myself on my phone: "If you have the ability to say that you are a fairy, you will fly in the clouds."

"Jiang Qiao, you must be laughing at me shamelessly now, isn't it but I won't be angry with you, because your territory has been occupied by my Da Xiao Ai, so let you laugh at it, it can be regarded as a small compensation for you."

Speaking of which, Xiao Ai whistled at the camera again to swear sovereignty, and then ended the recording of this song, but I still couldn't get back to my senses in front of the screen that had been darkened, because the hair on her sideburns was so elegant when blown by a gust of wind in the setting sun, as if the air in Lijiang was filled with the fragrance of shampoo

I spat out all the depression in my breath, then closed my eyes and smiled, hoping that when she crawled out, God forbid her not to tear off the other leg of her pants

It's not bad to tear it, it's just symmetrical

Just when I was immersed in that relaxed love, Su Han's voice came from the opposite side of the inn, and she whispered to me: "Jiang Qiao, can I talk to you for a while?"

I nodded immediately, and then prepared to go to her, and she also went downstairs at the same time, we met on the path in front of the two inns, and I asked her, "Where is Qiao Ye?"

"He's asleep, let's go to the inn I opened to talk, there is the ancient tree tea I left over there, if you're not afraid of insomnia tonight, please drink enough."

"It's okay, anyway, I can sleep on the plane tomorrow, if I come to Lijiang, it's a pity that I can't drink the tea you brewed."

Su Han forced a smile, but I was a little surprised, because I didn't expect her to have an inn here. It seems that she has developed well in Lijiang in recent years.

Su Han's inn is located on a relatively quiet ancient street, and there is a large courtyard, while she is making tea, I can't help asking: "Your inn looks quite big, how many rooms are there?"

"36 rooms, this inn is positioned as a relatively high-end hotel, even in the off-season, the standard room charges are 300 yuan."

I was a little surprised, and sighed for a long time: "In the past few years since you left Nanjing, you have done practical things."

Su Han smiled self-deprecatingly and replied: "Without that 2 million, I can't do anything, but it wasn't a wrong choice for me to come to Lijiang, I got a lot here." ”

I nodded, in this place in Lijiang, there are bars and inns of this scale, and Su Han's net worth is at least tens of millions, and she spent the original 2 million on the blade and made some correct investments.

I took the delicately made porcelain teacup from Su Han's hand, and after taking a sip of tea, I asked her, "Qiao Ye shouldn't want to go back to Nanjing?"

Su Han nodded, her expression was a little complicated, obviously she hadn't recovered from the ups and downs of her life, and said to me for a long time: "Jiang Qiao, are some things really destined over the years, it's not that I don't want Qiao Ye, I'm just afraid that I will have to endure the pain of separation again after seeing him, and I'm even more afraid that he will know the truth about my departure, I love him, and I'm sorry for him."

"Now that things are like this, let the rest be."

When I said this to Su Han, I thought of Qin Miao's heartbroken appearance again, I had a sense of guilt, this guilt made me dare not give Su Han too much advice, I knew that Qiao Ye couldn't go back.

After a period of silence, Su Han finally said to me: "If Qiao Ye really makes up his mind to stay by my side this time, I don't want to make compromises anymore, and I don't want to suffer the pain again, I want to take Qiao Ye abroad." ”

I was incredulous at her decision

Su Han avoided my eyes, and said to me after a long time: "Three years ago, Qiao Ye, who had nothing to do, said that he would elope with me, but where can we elope, he is a young master who has been spoiled since childhood, and can he follow me to suffer the hardships of this world, so I rejected him very realistically, and chose the 2 million Now, it's different, sell the inns and bars here in Lijiang, and we will have enough money to protect our lives." During this time, I have been abroad, in fact, to open a bar and a hotel in Chinatown over there, and now it is almost completed, and it will be ready for business soon, so I also have the conditions to be together with Qiao Ye I know that it is immoral for me to do this, but I have not fallen in love with other men for so many years, and Qiao Ye is also so crazy about me, so what else do I have to worry about I want to live for love once"

"This"

Su Han took a sip of tea, and then fell into an extremely long silence.

She finally said to me again: "Jiang Qiao, if you and Chen Yi are truly in love, don't follow the old path of me and Qiao Ye anymore, you are a very down-to-earth and thoughtful man, if you are willing to make good use of the resources around you, why not make a career in the future, and the biggest contradiction between you and Chen Yi now is a gap in identity, which is not irreparable, so don't be the one who regrets the most regret in the world when you can make it up one day, you know?"

I lowered my head for a long time before I looked up and forced a smile: "She has agreed to another man's marriage proposal, and our road may have come to an end." ”

Su Han didn't show the surprise I imagined, she lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said to me: "Jiang Qiao, you may not know much about women, if she really makes up her mind to marry a man other than you, she will no longer have a little intersection with you In fact, she is reluctant to let you go, I hope you can keep her"

"No, she came to Lijiang to persuade Qiao Ye to return to Nanjing."

"Yes, why didn't Qin Miao go with her, she is such a smart woman, she won't come to Lijiang alone to do something that she is not sure about at all when Qin Miao is already desperate, so she is for you, you have to believe me, I saw your mutual love in a coffee shop a few years ago, and it will never be fake. You all love very deeply, as long as you really want to keep it, Chen Yi will dare to repent of your marriage If you are still looking forward and hesitating, she will not even have the last courage, because what women are most afraid of is wishful thinking and not getting a strong response"

Su Han's words made my heart beat violently again, and I felt thrown at a crossroads where it was difficult to make a choice, but I had to make a decision. I suddenly remembered Chen Yi's words and deeds since she came to Lijiang, I could faintly feel her struggle, but I could never muster up the courage to do something, I have always regarded my own fulfillment as happiness for her.

Will we really walk on the old road of Qiao Ye and Su Han, and what kind of feelings Chen Yi has for Qiu Zi'an, I am afraid that in the end, it is not Chen Yi's wishful thinking, but my wishful thinking to increase her burden

At this moment, my brain is very messy
